Pioneer earned $1000 for the Library last year by filling up the Recycling Bin just once. The Recycling Committee is setting a goal to fill the Recycling Bin twice this year It takes 500 bags of plastic bottles or cans to fill up the bin. With close to 1300 Wildcats, if each student just bring 2 bags this year, we can fill up the Recycling Bin 5 times!

Pioneer was chosen by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform as a School to Watch. Pioneer is very proud to be selected as one of only 48 middle schools to receive the honor in California.
